by Adam Last updated October 2, 2012

BoardingArea is giving away two seats on the upcoming Star MegaDO 4. The winners will receive a reserved aisle or window seat next to Randy Petersen, hotel accommodations, and $250 for personal expenses! Full details on the MegaDO and Randy can be found here.

How the contest works: One reader who correctly answers the question below (within the comments section of this post) will be chosen at random, using random.org, to represent PointMetothePlane in the contest. There will also be one winner selected from each of the participating blogs. BoardingArea will then select two lucky readers amongst the individual blog winners to receive the grand prize.

What you need to do: There have been 23 weeks of Saturday “Say What? Overheard on the Plane” posts, which edition has the highest readership to date?

The prize: A reserved aisle or window seat next to Randy Petersen on the upcoming StarMegaDo 2012, hotel accommodations, and $250 for personal expenses.

Additional details and full terms and conditions for the contest can be found here. You must be 18 to enter and will be responsible for your own positioning flights (to San Francisco for the start of the MegaDO and back home from Chicago).

Adam

Adam is the proud Founder and CEO of both Point Me to the Plane and point.me. An international consultant turned TV programming strategist, Adam currently works full-time on both websites. His obsession with points and miles dates back to his freshman year at college. After browsing Flyertalk and Mileage Workshop, Adam pulled the trigger and signed up for his first Citibank AAdvantage credit card and MCI phone line (yes, landlines still existed). Back then, both deals were churnable and in no time at all, the college freshman had enough miles to travel to Europe and Asia in First Class for free, multiple times. Needless to say, he was hooked! Fast forward a few years and Adam of course ended up in a career with a heavy travel requirement…which meant extra miles for awards! As his colleagues and friends started to hear about and see pictures from his trips, they wanted in on the secret and Adam began to assist them with their bookings, Juicy Miles was born. At the same time, Adam started an email newsletter to prevent those less obsessed co-workers from squandering their point collection opportunities. The bi-weekly email covered everything from upcoming promotions, guidance on maximizing points, and redemption advice. The distribution quickly expanded outside the office and Point Me to the Plane became a BoardingArea blog.

What is the meaning of “to date”? If it’s the date this entry was posted or the date when I’m responding, I’ll say Edition 22. If it’s the date you pick a winner or, if the date doesn’t matter, I’ll say Edition 23.
